Nothing too new to report.
Anyone who was present at Ray & Rose's last Saturday got to see Nicholas, who was a big hit at the party. From his usual chitter chatter to his dinner-interuptions such as "excuse me, grampa, I have to ask you something... can I have some more green beans" to his growing list of "why did the ___ cross the road" jokes, he never ceased entertaining everyone in the room.
And, even though he stayed up many hours past his usual bedtime, Nicholas showed no sign of becoming cranky (nor did he sleep late the next morning, to our surprise).
I'll keep posting news as it happens...

What's New.
Last week, Jennifer and Nicholas began searching for a new daycare program because we don't think Nick is being challenged enough where he is. We've recently noticed him exhibiting "baby-like" behavior and we're also disappointed with the amount of baby television shows they watch at his daycare center.
Jen had her eyes on an "after school" program called Fast Track that meets only one day a week for 2 hours. Although Jen was told that they began accepting kids at 3 1/2 years of age, after meeting Nick and putting him through a short test a couple of weeks ago, they said they'd make an exception for Nicholas (2 years 2 months old). Last week, Nicholas was invited for a free session to see how well he fit in and he did wonderfully. In a room of 4, 5, and 6 year olds, Nicholas was able to sit patiently, listen to and then answer questions about different stories and videos, and he even participated in a role-playing exercise.
For those who have not seen or heard Nicholas in person lately, you would not believe you were talking to a 2 year old. He speaks so well that except for an occasional word that he may have trouble pronouncing, he is really able to have adult conversations and is able to retain and process information and facts.
We're not sure what we'll be doing yet, but as always, we'll keep you posted.

Pee Pee on the potty!!
Nicholas, who has done pee pee on the potty literally every night before his bath since my last post, finally asked to do pee pee on the potty at school on Friday. The people at school are going to continue to work with Nicholas to see if they can move him up to poopy on the potty! We'll keep you posted.
